prothom hello ,
The case of seven murders came into limelight and the government took action. But some incidents do not come to light and then no action is taken.
anisul haq: There have not been many incidents that have received this much attention and therefore have not made headlines. And when we started paying more attention to such cases, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights gave us a list of 76 missing persons. We checked the names in the list, but said that the police would go to the families who filed complaints and listen to their allegations.
After we spoke, Prothom Alo, The Daily Star and some other newspapers started publishing reports that these families were being threatened. We also kept this in mind. Later we decided that a letter would be sent to the police stations asking them to provide information and evidence and we would search for them. The process is still going on. We also checked in different ways and found that many of them have come back. Nevertheless, many fugitive convicts were sentenced to death. The investigation revealed a huge gap between the information given and the facts.
prothom hello ,
International human rights organizations and even the United Nations and the US had issued statements regarding enforced disappearances several times. You will also have to respond to these issues at the international level, including through the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. You all said that investigations were being conducted, but you all never released the findings of those investigations.
anisul haq: Why would we release findings when the investigation has not been completed? There are still many families who have not submitted the information properly. The results we have received so far regarding the investigation of the list of 76 names received have been sent to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. Then he gave another list of 21 names. We are investigating each allegation and sending them the results because this government has no involvement in extrajudicial killings.
